How Walt Disney’s Quote on Courage Can Help You Live Out Your Dream

Many of Walt Disney’s quotes have inspired me in my life,
but this one on courage has really been the most impactful for me.

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

This quote is what I’ve been reciting every other day for the past couple of weeks.

I hate to go all mushy on you, but every day is a new opportunity to face your fears and take risks that you would have never thought about doing.

What is courage?

According to Merriam-Webster, courage is a mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty with etymology coming from the word “heart.”

When people speak of having courage or being courageous, it really does separate the ones who just move complacently through life and the ones who say “f-this, I choose to live fully!”

Please pardon my language, but sometimes it takes
assertiveness to conquer the daily battle of fear and insecurity.

It takes courage to go after your goals. Especially when you think they’re too high to achieve or if you feel like an imposter.

When I speak of “imposter,” I mean that you may feel like you are just too small or not an expert enough to play in the league of your goal.

But, push pass those feelings!

Everyday we’re given the choice to be courageous.

The simple decisions like standing up to someone who may be disrespecting you or going after that position that you though was too advanced for you, are all ways that we are presented with courage each day.

When Walt Disney speaks on courage, what does that really mean to you?

To me, courage means pushing pass my own fears and doubts and going after my dreams no matter how scary they may seem.

Many times, it’s not even the dreams that are scary, but the steps involved to get to that dream that are scary.

In order for us to get on the other side where our goal is,
we have to do a lot of courageous things to make it over there.

Greatness Inside of You

Always remember that there’s something great inside of you
that will bless the world. You owe it to yourself to go out there and make it
happen.

But how do you discover it?

You have to make time for yourself to reflect and discover
your true passions.
